Well one is Guyana, and i want to believe Barbados and St.Lucia as those two countries are more passionate about their teams.


I am aware that he isn't a favourite in St Lucia.

I like Hosein though

Barbados, Mudlands and St. Lucia I think.
I am sure that he got booed many times in Barbados and Mudlands.

Pollard is correct.
He put Windies on de map.
He was argubly the best Winbdies cappo in White Ball.
He does not get the respect that he deserves.

Yes, Pollard is a bully on de field.
So was Lloyd and Richards.
His dressing room and off the field presence was very intimidating, especially to yutes.
Keith Boyce had to step to him to protect young David Murray.
Lloyd's presence was very intimidating.
Ya know what dem three (Pollard, Lloyd and Viv) have in commom.
Their leadership credentials.

Lots of you young people here, see nonsense onn social media and talk $hit.
You ned to congratulate your heroes.

Big Up Pollard and congrats on your win tonight.

Lloyd was a gentle giant

Viv just had a arrogant flair about. Not taunting to his opponents

You need to speak to cricketers.

Yesteryear, there was no social media.

The social media if yesteryear is to speak to past cricketers.

Gentle Giant my ass.

Pollard is a showman and nothing is sweeter than putting a cutarse on a team before their home crowd. Go Polly. TT has produced 4 decent captains: Carew, Ganga, Polly and now Silva. Yes, I deliberately did not include You know Who as I do not think TT won any regional titles under him. I also thought that Michael was also underrated as a captain for the short period that he captained TT. I think that he was brilliant in his use of his bowlers in that Super50 competition

pollard is anything but a bully off it. helped akeal hosein get an apartment along with sunil narine when akeal started playing for QPCC, sent joshua da silva to england to play league cricket as a school boy, helped out pooran during and after his accident. he wasn't throwing kit bags out of dressing rooms and the like

Not surprising that Trinis see pollard as a national hero. lol

In 123 ODI matches, Pollard averaged just 26.01 with the bat.

Average amongst T20Is players.

Pollard never played a single Test match. And even now, Pollard is still hyped as the next big thing. LOL

Sorry if the stats make you feel hurt, but it speaks for itself.

Boos, perhaps, because he rarely delivered!

He made his name for MI and TKR and he's highly respected there.

Agreed, he is respected in league cricket, but never in maroon.
